The "Ingraham Angle" on "The O'Reilly Factor" keyed in on the contest between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney as frontrunners for the GOP presidential nominee.

O'Reilly and Ingraham discussed an ad released by Ron Paul that documents Gingrich's flip flops. Ingraham said that Paul had been on her show and later remarked that he had to do this as the Iowa caucuses are coming up. O'Reilly felt that Mitt Romney may be feeling the heat, given how he reacted to his interview with Bret Baier. He said Romney should use humor to deflect criticisms or annoyances. Ingraham also cited InTrade in which Romney has taken a tumble and Gingrich has surged.

The New York Times reports that a record number of President Obama's nominations for judgeships have been deemed "not qualified" by the American Bar Association.

The White House has chosen not to nominate any person the bar association deemed unqualified, so their identities and negative ratings have not been made public. But the association’s judicial vetting committee has opposed 14 of the roughly 185 potential nominees the administration asked it to evaluate, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The number of Obama prospects deemed “not qualified” already exceeds the total number opposed by the group during the eight-year administrations of Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush; the rejection rate is more than three and a half times as high as it was under either of the previous two presidencies, documents and interviews show.

The New York Times, in its piece "Near Poor - Not Quite In Poverty, But Struggling" reports on data from the Census Bureau that puts meat on the bones of the angst being felt by many Americans. To some analysts it is described as near poor and by others as low income. Basically around 100 million Americans are barely getting by, many living in the suburbs, working full time, paying taxes and yet needing government assistance.

This paints an even bleaker picture in the sense that if there wasn't government assistance, these people would be in poverty.

They drive cars, but seldom new ones. They earn paychecks, but not big ones. Many own homes. Most pay taxes. Half are married, and nearly half live in the suburbs. None are poor, but many describe themselves as barely scraping by.

Will the White House win the battle but lose the war as whatever the decision is gets mucho airtime during the camapaign if it is upheld - or lose the war and the credibility for pre-emptive victory dance?

Ingraham and Bissinger addressed the football fanaticism, vanity, celebrity culture and media that overpower the emphasis on moral integrity and the culture. Both said people feel they are untouchable. Bissinger said it's closing ranks around one's own rather than doing the right thing.

Kerr said that the killer whales or orcas are akin to slaves as they were captured by Sea World out of their natural environment and forced to perform. Thus he feels their acts are unconstitutional. Ingraham pointed out that many animals then would be considered enslaved. He said it is a restricted case and that the 13th Amendment applies to them. He said this is the letter of the law and Ingraham said that probably only a Ninth Circuit judge would find this at all credible.

Kerr said that one of the orcas has lost his teeth and has been turned into a breeding machine. Another has been in captivity for 40 years and the average age in captivity for 8 years while they can live until age 60. He said incompatible orcas are put together and they kill each other. Kerr said Ingraham's arguments are those that slave masters have made through time.

Kerr refused to comment on any other examples that Ingraham brought up such as other animals that perform at Sea World. Ingraham noted that 90% of PETA's animals are put to death and Kerr refused to comment.

Bayh said American in decline isn't an issue any president would want to run on and pointed to alarming polls that say citizens feel that way. Ingraham said Obama in fact is presiding over a country in decline. Bayh said he disagrees with a New York Times article that says it's good the US is declining, but ticked off many issues that in fact point to this. He pointed to our history and values that have caused us in the past to overcome problems. He thinks we need to make hard decisions to do so.

Bayh said the stimulus was a grab bag of proposals, the recession's depth was underestimated by the administration and health care was pushed through prematurely during a bad economy. He's fifty-fifty on his feelings on health care and says we must wait and see, although he is very concerned about costs.

Bayh said that the election will be close and Obama is in trouble, but that the GOP field is weak and will have to run states up for grabs with fewer available. He said he would vote for Obama over Romney.
